Theodore Roosevelt agrees that the United States government should fund the building of tributaries along the Mississippi to ward against flood waters. Roosevelt resolves that the tributaries should be of the finest engineering, comparable to the engineering used in the building of the Panama Canal. Roosevelt draws a corollary between improving safety along the Mississippi to a political alliance between the Northern and Southern regions of the United States.
